feat(map)!: add Send + Sync supertraits to Value#126
Conversation
The Value trait's lack of Send/Sync bounds caused futures returned by MapStorage methods to be !Send, since store_item_inner uses &dyn Value which requires Sync on the trait object for the reference to be Send. Closes tweedegolf#125

You can use this test to verify that both Send + Sync are needed. Happy to remove it if not deemed valuable moving forward.

If you add the same check for fetch_item I'd be happy with it :)

Sync doesn't really make sense to me... Why did you add it?

It didn't make sense to me at first either.

// Most instances arise automatically, but this instance is needed to link up `T: Sync` with
// `&T: Send` (and it also removes the unsound default instance `T Send` -> `&T: Send` that would
// otherwise exist).

unsafe impl<T: Sync + PointeeSized> Send for &T {}
If you want to Send a reference, the underlying has to be Sync, otherwise it's not safe.

This PR is llm generated, right? Well it lied to you. Tests didn't pass |
|
@diondokter yeah, I did use an LLM but verified |
…Send check - Add Send + Sync bounds to the PostcardValue blanket impl's where clause so types using postcard via the Value trait satisfy the new supertraits. - Extend the compile-time Send check to also cover fetch_item. - Remove trailing blank line flagged by rustfmt.
|
Oh - I see now. CI doesn't automatically run! That explains why I didn't see that yesterday :) |
|
@diondokter I ran all the stuff in CI locally, and this works on my laptop. I tried a few variations that didn't add + Sync by adding the +Send bound elsewhere, and could not find one that would pass the test. |
|
Thanks yeah. I'm thinking about it. I'm not pumped to add the Sync bound. The choice is: Do I make the Value trait more of a PITA to implement or do I limit how this crate can be used. And so I need some time to think about it |
|
I did think of 2 more options. They're in subsequent commits. The first is adding the bounds to the call site. e8475e8 The second is adding a secondary function for store_item_local, which explicitly handles things that aren't Send + Sync. There might be a more elegant way to avoid duplication than the macro. 5dd764c This keeps optionality, and minimally constrains types. Interested to hear what you think. |
Summary
Send + Syncsupertraits to theValuetrait so that futures returned byMapStorage::store_item(and other methods) areSend.store_item_inneruses&dyn Value<'_>internally. For&dyn Tto beSend,Tmust beSync— without the supertrait, the future is!Sendeven when the concrete value type isSend + Sync.Valueimplementations (primitives,&[u8],Option<T>, postcard types) are alreadySend + Sync, so this is unlikely to break real-world code.Changes
